Don't get political here and you won't have to worry about the political correctness. Simple, really.

“Republics are created by the virtue, public spirit, and intelligence of the citizens. They fall when the wise are banished from the public councils because they dare to be honest, and the profligate are rewarded because they flatter the people, in order to betray them.” ~Judge Joseph Story

Moderators,
Thanks for keeping consistent with your mission statement. It maintains the integrity of this website. I encourage everyone to respectfully discuss religion, politics and other subjects in the proper forum...around a campfire!

P.S. I wish Sargevining, Just Jeff and all the other moderators and ALL my brothers and sisters on the forum the very best in 2012!!!

While I do deeply appreciate the sentiment and am humbly grateful for it, I probably should point out that I am the noobiest of noobs here and am not a moderator. If I were, I'd probably not do as good a job as is being done presently.

And yes, "men" was meant in all of its gender neutral, politically correct glory. I leave no-one out in my wishes for Peace and Good Will. I try very hard to follow an example that has been set for me, and would be remiss if I limited those wishes.

May everyone experience Joy, Love, and Peace on this Holiday and all days between this one and the next million and more.

Guys, not fussing at you two (I probably agree with your intended sentiment), but the way some use the term "politically correct," it's a cheap shot and a demeaning pejorative and has little to do with politics.

I'd suggest the term never see the light of day again, but know that won't happen in this world. Just know it's an offensive term.

Hope y'all had a Merry Christmas and look forward to a Happy New Year!
